ROG HURACAN (G21)

Just one look is all it takes for you to realize that ROG Huracan is unlike any other gaming desktop. Its aggressively-styled chassis has an asymmetric design, and there’s a folding magnetic side cover that, when opened, improves airflow into the system and enables a CPU and GPU performance boost. The extra airflow provides the cooling needed to unleash the full fury of its 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics for extraordinary gaming experiences — so you can play the latest games at their most extreme settings.

Design

A BATTLE-HARDENED CYBER-WARRIOR

Huracan is a high-performance, compact 13-liter gaming desktop with cyber-warrior and cyber-punk design elements. It has an aggressive, angular chassis with sharp creases that reflect a battle scars. Huracan has a magnetically-secured cover on its right flank that can be opened to improve heat removal and overall performance.

UPGRADABILITY

UPGRADES MADE EASY

To ensure you’re ready for future battles, both side panels slide open to reveal the internal components, giving you easy access when it’s time to upgrade to the latest hardware. Upgrade to more powerful graphics cards, larger capacity storage drives, or simply add more RAM so your gaming rig is always up to date. There’s even a hot-swap 2.5-inch SSD bay that can be taken out and replaced in seconds.

THERMAL SOLUTION

PLAY IT COOL

Huracan features air intakes at the front, top and underside of the chassis. Opening the cover adds to that, allowing the maximum amount of cooling air into the chassis. It increases airflow by 16% and reduces internal temperatures by 15% to help cool critical components. Huracan gives you exactly what you want for gaming — a compact desktop that runs cool and quiet without compromising performance.

Opening it up unleashes the true potential of this amazing gaming desktop, with internal sensors triggering a CPU and GPU performance boost of up to 11% and 8% respectively. This intelligent thermal solution results in faster frame rates, and helps you achieve true gaming supremacy. With the side cover open, Huracan is able to run Destiny 2 in 4K UHD at frame rates of up to 82fps — up from 66fps with the cover closed.

Huracan is powered by up to the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8700 CPU, which packs more cores than the previous generation for improved performance for intensive tasks. Streaming your gameplay online, multitasking, and multimedia editing are smoother and better than ever before.
